Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: Many modern critics, among them T.S. Eliot and Hugh Grady, focus on Shakespeare's role as avant-gardist and precursor of modern literature. Thus, most of their critical notices are concerned with Shakespeare's influence on literature, theatre, and language. One particularly frequently chosen subject is the assessment of his various contributions to English culture and, concomitantly, the examination of new standards Shakespeare has set. Last but not least, they elucidate his role as a preeminent model, when dissecting the effect his works had on authors like Oscar Wilde and Virginia Woolf.What these contemporary critics often do not emphasize strongly enough is the extent to which Shakespeare draws from tradition to compose his plays. This term paper will show the ascendancy of history in 'Twelfth Night', where Shakespeare analyzes the various considerations of love present at that time, weighs up good and bad aspects, and, subsequently, develops an own theory on true love. In a first step, the paper reveals Elizabethan love concepts in the relationships between the main characters and points out how Shakespeare evaluates these various concepts. Finally, it makes a supposition on his understanding of true love. 16 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: This term paper seeks to dislocate traces of racism within the characters of Iago, Othello, and Desdemona in Shakespeare's 'Othello'. By scrutinizing both overt and covert forms of xenophobia, it tries to explain how and why the play came to its tragic ending.In 1994, Nelson Mandela wrote in his autobiography that 'no one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion' and that, consequently, 'people must learn to hate'. By itself, this is a simple statement but it is also egregious in the way it makes us understand. There is nothing it could not explain, no dispute it could not illuminate. And even though Mr. Mandela had originally formulated his statement with regard to Apartheid, it fits extraordinarily well to racism in Shakespeare's 'Othello'.Judging from Michael Neill's investigations into the subject of notions of human difference in early modern societies, 16th century Venice had a considerably open attitude towards foreigners of any kind, with a great deal of cultural exchange taking place between people of every colour and every religion. By the beginning of the 17th century, however, this started to change: as the number of encounters with foreign cultures increased, 'color emerg[ed] as the most important criterion for defining otherness' (Neill). As Mandela would have put it, Venetians started to learn hating others in behalf of their skin colour. And precisely this kind of development is illustrated in Othello: the Moor, who is actually a prime example for successful integration, has to endure an increasing degree of enmities and discriminations as racist sentiments begin to emerge in Venetian society - sentiments even Othello himself cannot resist. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: Since our very beginnings as a species, we human beings have always struggled to improve the painful conditions of our existence. But, as we discovered more technologies which helped us live safer lives, this strive for well-being and progress has also led us further and further away from our natural origins, until we have almost found ourselves at war with the Earth, our home planet. It is only in recent years, that we have come to realize how much we have already denuded the earth of its natural resources. Since the first environmentalist movements in the 19th century, there has been an increasing number of systematic efforts to raise our awareness of environmental issues. Scientists like James Lovelock and David Suzuki have outlined the necessity to preserve our ecosystems if we want to survive as a species. And, of course, the popular media have also been used to convey the values of coexistence, sustainability, and respect for the environment.One such book, which advocates the rights and interests of 'Mother Nature' or, at least, encourages a public discussion about new ecological policies, is T.C. Boyle's novel A Friend of the Earth. Judging from the title alone, one might suppose that this book represents a written plea for the application of environmentalist values in our everyday lives. However, the story also contains many incidents when the environmentalists are portrayed in a rather disgraceful light that seems to give substance to the many prevailing negative stigmas against them. Therefore, I analyze how ecocentrism and anthropocentrism are displayed in the book. My main focus will be on the different ways that Boyle treats the two ideologies, respectively, as well as the possibility of a compromise between their standards. Thus, I hope to show that the novel promotes a right balance between anthropocentrism and ecocentrism that resembles the biblical maxim of 'human stewardship for nature'. 20 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - International Politics - General and Theories, grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: This paper will look at the Iraq War, the most important operation in the Global War on Terror, under the 'magnifying glass' of constructivism: the invasion of Iraq was a protracted armed conflict that escaped international standards of war-making. Why should the US risk regional stability through a belated intervention Why should they incur the enormous humanitarian, economic, and military costs connected with a preventive war that lacked legitimacy under international law and, thus, was very likely to damage transatlantic relations By scrutinising the Bush Administration's rationale for war and examining a variety of possible objectives that are based on constructivist concepts, I will try to make sense of this war which remained unexplainable to many other international relations (IR) theories.In a first step, I will give a brief introduction to Constructivist theory focusing on the three principal aspects of state identities and interests, international structure, and conditions of cooperation and conflict. Secondly, I will address the issue of America's threat perceptions and enemy images in order to explain how inherited values and attitudes shaped the Bush Administration's assessment of the incident. Following a description of the US rationale for war, I will focus on the theme of international normative frameworks so as to explain why they imposed their decision against the serious concerns of the UN community of states. In this context, an important role will be played by the substantial unilateral freedom of action gained by their hegemonic position in the international system. Finally, I will return to the point of US identity in order to specify that the invasion of Iraq might have made little sense from a rational point of view because it harmed European-American relations in the long term and aggravated international tensions, but that it nevertheless conformed to the imperialist ambitions of US exceptionalism and their historically defined claim to leadership. 28 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, language: English, abstract: This term paper seeks to explore the creation of fictional worlds in the two short story cycles Dubliners and Our Village. Naturally, it requires a lot of effort to analyze world-making in a literary text: there are so many criteria that need to be examined. But despite these difficulties, I still venture to take a deeper look at the different modes of fictionality, because I believe that such an inquiry will help us discover the operation principles of world-making. And due to their collaged variety of world views, short story cycles might be the ideal research objects if we want to determine what makes fictional worlds credible.In order to reach this goal, I will first introduce my own theory and methodology of world-making that will focus on a large set of criteria at the endo-narrative, exo-narrative, and meta-narrative levels. The described criteria will then be set to use in the analysis of the two short story cycles. The main points for examination during this process will be mood, emotionality, rhetoric and narrative strategies, since I regard them as the most fundamental aspects that contribute to the credibility of a story world. Thus, I hope to evince both the elements that might make a fictional world real/concrete and any eventual interferences which may be detrimental to the credibility of the stories. 28 pp. Englisch.…

Nach einer kurzen Übersicht über die Grundlagen der mittelalterlichen "âventiure", werden die beiden Abenteuerrunden des Iwein so gegenübergestellt, dass der Konflikt zwischen den beiden Konstituenten der höfischen Existenz und eben des Artusromans: Frauendienst (Minne, Eheglück) und Waffenruhm ersichtlich wird. Dabei gelten diese beiden Konstituenten allerdings ausdrücklich nicht als unvereinbare Gegensätze, sondern als essentielle Teile eines großen Gesamtkonzeptes verstanden, die sich effektiv unterstützen können, wie es sich vor allem im Kampf gegen Gawein zeigt.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Frankfurt (Main) (AVL), language: English, abstract: Since our very beginnings as a species, the human mind has always loved systems and structures because they help us to gain a clearer view of the deeper meanings behind our experiences. We use indices to chart plants and their uses, official classifications to guide our cohabitation, lists to organize and store data, schedules to control our workflow, and schematic diagrams to proffer detailed and in-depth explanation for certain concepts we want to transmit to other people. In short, there seem to be no practical data that cannot be edited and then published in the form of a directory or site map. And, of course, we have also used these structures to compile and collate information around topics of a more ideational type such as literature or music. 36 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 1,3, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Even to this day, Shakespeare's plays are raising a series of - perhaps irresolvable - questions. First and foremost, the two tragedies of 'Hamlet' and 'Macbeth' have baffled generations of literary researchers who have been toiling away more or less successfully on the disclosure of their many secrets for centuries now.With a closer look back at the major works of Shakespeare's ingenious contemporary Thomas Hobbes this text tries to shed some light onto Shakespeare's cryptic writings. Hobbes 'Leviathan', in particular, takes up many of the issues inherent in 'Hamlet' and 'Macbeth' and, correspondingly, might help decode some of these mysteries.By focusing on the mental and political disparities in 'Hamlet' and 'Macbeth', this text wants to explain how it comes to be that both tragic heroes add to the unrest in their respective states. 16 pp. Deutsch.…

Nach einer kurzen Übersicht über die zentralen Begriffe von Macht, Handeln, Pluralität und Freiheit in Hannah Arendts Vita activa folgt deshalb eine genauere Untersuchung der Auswirkungen von Bartlebys Passivität auf sein näheres Umfeld, die sich besonders auf die tiefe Willenlosigkeit konzentriert, die in seiner berühmten Formel 'Ich möchte lieber nicht' zum Vorschein tritt. 32 pp. Deutsch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Englisch - Literatur, Werke, Note: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The novel as a form of creation has never been a fixed medium. From the time of its first emergence onwards, it has always been in a state of continual change and oscillation. In the 17th century especially, when the early 'novelists' made serious efforts to distinguish their writings from antecedent forms of literature, there were a large number of experiment[s] in the infancy of the novel, which brought new narrative possibilities in general and an enriched conceptualization of 'the story' in particular.This term paper seeks to explore the various elements that make proto-novels stand out from earlier types of writing. To read a novel and to recognize the narrative strategies within its word flow is to really understand what makes the text work. And since a comparison with other writings of its time and epoch can substantially increase the comprehension and appreciation of a given text, the two 'proto-novels' of John Bunyan's 'The Pilgrim's Progress' and Aphra Behn's 'Oroonoko' will are contrasted. 40 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Deutsch - Literatur, Werke, Note: 1,3, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main (Germanistik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wie Nathan Taylor in seinem Aufsatz über den 'Nullpunkt des Realismus' festgestellt hat, muss 'Literatur über die Gegenwart als solche immer nahe der Gegenwart kommen, über die sie spricht', weil die Darstellung einer bestimmten Zeit erst durch eine gewisse Distanz möglich wird. Noch während der Autor oder die Autorin die Gegenwart in Worte zu fassen versucht, wird sie immer mehr zur Vergangenheit, sodass sich die resultierende Geschichte niemals als ein Ausdruck von Gegenwart, sondern bestenfalls als eine Erinnerung an eine gewesene Zeit verstehen lässt.Aber in dem Moment, da die Geschichte von einem Rezipienten wiederaufgenommen wird, bekommt sie wieder einen Hauch von Gegenwärtigkeit, da der Leser die geschilderten Erlebnisse durch die Kraft seiner Vorstellung wiederaufleben lässt, wobei es sich bei diesen imaginierten Szenen jedoch nicht um das ursprüngliche Erzählgut, sondern um ein Konstrukt aus fremden Ideen und eigenen Interpretationen handelt.Somit stellt sich die Frage, durch welche Verfahren Zeit und Raum von heutigen Autoren wie Alexander Kluge, Terézia Mora und Judith Zander, die sich dieses Paradoxons durchaus bewusst sind, ins Erzählen gebracht werden.Nach einer kurzen Übersicht über die Grundlagen und Techniken der Gegenwartsliteratur, nimmt sich diese Hausarbeit also Alexander Kluges 'Dezember' vor, um anhand dieser Erzählsammlung zu untersuchen, inwiefern Texte als Spiegel der Zeit funktionieren können. Dabei macht sie es sich zum Ziel, Kluges Methode der Wirklichkeitsmontage zu durchleuchten und anhand dreier Beispiele auch festzustellen, wie der bekannte deutsche Filmemacher und Autor mit der schwierigen Aufgabe umgeht, Authentizität und Gegenwärtigkeit zu vermitteln, obwohl sich unser Empfinden ständig wandelt. 28 pp. Deutsch.…
